Subject: [Policy] PCIMe: Doh!

In the course of doing our QPIM update, we discovered
an error in PCIMe-05, where, following Homer Simpson,
all we can say is "Doh!"  Here's the error and the
fix:

Section 5.12.9 defines the variable class PolicyIPToSVariable.
The ALLOWED VALUE TYPES clause is in error.

Change this line:

- PolicyIntegerValue (0..7)

to this:

- PolicyIntegerValue (0..255)

It's easy to see how this error happened.  We were thinking
"TOS octet = 8 bits = (0..7)", but we put this range on the
integer value (Doh!), where, coincidentally, it could be
read to refer to just the 3 precedence bits from the TOS
octet.

Since this is just fixing an editorial oversight in the
document, I don't think we need to do anything more than
just fix it, and let Bert take the corrected document
forward to the IESG as planned.  Consequently, I've
produced a PCIMe-06 draft with this one change, and
submitted it to the Internet-Drafts repository.  It will
probably show up there tomorrow.

Regards,
Bob
